1. Call students over to the by table groups:

(Example: Boys and girls can I have Jacks table stand up and push their chair in? Students would say: “Stand up and push my chair in” three times as they are standing up from their seat and pushing their chairs in. Students would then stand being their chair. Okay, Jack’s group, go ahead and use your marshmallow toes and quietly come over to the rug and find your spot (Students spots are marked with each students name on a piece of tap placed on the rug). Do the same for each table until all of the students are sitting on the rug.

2. Remind students of behavior expectations:

Listen while others are talking

Have students dismiss from the rug and go back to their desks by calling colors that they are wearing (ex. “If you are wearing green you my act like a spider and crawl back to your desks”). Once students get to their desks, ask the student who is listed on the job chart for paper passer outer to pass out the “bl” and “th” blend and digraph worksheets. Go over the directions with the students. Have the students say the directions back to you in order, use a step method to help students remember (step one, write my name, step two . . .). Have students put their finger on their nose if they know the directions. Call on a couple of students to say the steps again (Jake: “Step one, write you name.” Katie: “Step two, . . .”). Once the students have the directions down allow students to start their worksheet. The teacher should be preparing for center time and guided reading but available to help students if they raise their hand. Students can turn in their paper once they are finished and read silently or draw until everyone is done. Students should have fifteen to twenty minutes to complete the worksheet. Students who usually take longer have the writing center as their first center so they can finish up their worksheet if need

    The teacher can observe and ask questions to probe students thinking if they are stuck (After you do this, what do you think you need to do next in order to find the sum?). After 2-4 minutes, ask for thumbs up when everyone has determined the sum. Call on one student to come to the board and walk through the problem with the group. The teacher should ask probing questions as the student works though the problems so that his/her classmates can “see” their thinking. If the student skips a step, ask the rest of the class if he/she missed anything.…

    Arling meets learner needs by dividing the students so they are engaging in social learning. This also allows her the opportunity to work with a smaller group of students as she assists each group. Students who receive individualized assistance, according to research, perform better academically indicating that Mrs. Arling is using the correct approach (Oliver, Wehby, and Reschly, 2009). In contrast, when students do not receive individual attention they can quickly become frustrated which impairs the ability to make connections and store new information (Oliver et al., 2009). By providing specific instruction in a smaller group Mrs. Arling and her aide are able to more effectively and efficiently assist students in a way that encourages learning and discourages overwhelming feelings which could cause the student to stop…

While the teacher is helping the student along, he or she can monitor what areas the student might be struggling with.

    When there were not too many people, I usually would go to each person and worked with each individual. However, sometimes working with someone individually was difficult, especially when it was exam week for them, because there were so many people that it was challenging to explain each concept and problems one on one. During exam week, I would make my students sit in groups and ask them to help each other out first. Then, if someone or a couple of people still did not understand anything I would go over it with them together. Afterwards, I would give them practice exams, which I make beforehand to make sure they understand everything well enough to do well on the actual exam.…

    I can empathize with teachers who say that the observation and evaluation process does not seem reciprocal in nature. Most of my follow-up evaluations have either been waived or conducted in five minutes or less in which the principal hits upon the highlights of my observation. Very few teaching lessons have been learned through these interactions. In her article though, Shelly Arneson includes sound practices that can be implemented to alleviate many of the concerns of the evaluation process. Her basic premise is to shift the dialogue from inspection-based conversation to a reflection-based conversation.…
